You have a great paint job JakeInIraq, but I like the less busy factory flame set. To each his own. I can't decide if between the orange and red factory flames. Here is Starboard's Low Rider in the thumbnail. This is the flame set that I like. Mine is below it. Mine bike is actually a 2006 Streetbob.

Jake, had no idea this was a HD item. I love that tank. It is one of the best looking bike's I have ever seen. Wish I could see it in person.

My ears were burning so I had to post
Believe it or not, there is a another guy here in San Antonio with the same red flame set as mine. He had his done (on a Low Rider, no less) in late 2006 and it is starting to fade a little and the red paint looks pink in the sun. He keeps his bike in the garage, like I do, but we both ride every day. The only way he could tell is with mine side by side. I asked the dealer (they introduced me to the guy) to have more red metallic added to the paint on mine and they said they would. They did not. Now I am worried about mine turning pink in a year or two. Keep this in mind as you make your decision.
I still have my original tins and I am planning on another paint job for 2009. It's only money, right. Here are the places I have asked for quotes from.
http://jeillusions.com/ - I am looking at a custom graphic design (expensive, around what Jake's cost, but I haven't seen anything that looks as good as his)
http://www.customflamepainting.com/ - fairly inexpensive (about the same price as HD, around $2000, but you get more options)
Also, my HD tins took over 6 weeks to get after they were ordered.
Thanks for the compliments, guys!
